Jó 11

1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

2 Should not the multitude of words be answered?

3 Should thy boastings make men hold their peace?

4 For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure,

5 But oh that God would speak,

6 And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom!

7 Canst thou by searching find out God?

8 It is high as heaven; what canst thou do?

9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth,

10 If he pass through, and shut up,

11 For he knoweth false men:

12 But vain man is void of understanding,

13 If thou set thy heart aright,

14 If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away,

15 Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot;

16 For thou shalt forget thy misery;

17 And

18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope;

19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid;

20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail,
